“Well, if they get lost or injured hiking around mount Rushmore they shouldn’t call the government for help. Some folks don’t seem to understand that the federal government is shutdown. I’m sure they’ll have a chance to visit the federal parks and monuments in the near future. But they shouldn’t insist in visiting right now.”
So, in your view Americans are bunch of helpless children that must have Uncle Sugar at the ready? Why shouldn’t they visit THEIR monuments? Is that your view that they should support Obama by not visiting? If the government is shutdown then who placed all those Barrycaids and signs saying it is shutdown? That’s right, government employees, that’s who.
Some people don’t seem to understand the federal government is NOT shutdown, sucker.
Obama’s tactics seem to be working. You can’t be in favor of the government shutdown and at the same time demand that the federal parks stay open.
Just to be clear, I don’t think the federal government should be in charge of maintaining any of these parks. They should be transferred to the private sector or to the state government. But as things stand right now, the federal government is in charge. And the federal government is or should be shutdown if anybody still bothers to follow the constitution.
